    It has almost become a tradition that we face problems in nflfastR the first game of the season. And like every year, we solve the problems quickly! Play-by-play data from the season opener is now available! Preferably run nflreadr::load_pbp(2023) to load the data. Enjoy!

    This year's data had three major problems: 1. wrong posteam on kick offs 2. wrong posteam on PATs after a defensive td 3. additional timeouts All with a massive effect on downstream variables and models. And all fixed now! nflreadr::load_pbp(2023) will return the fixed data

    Update on the nflfastR pbp data: It's up and running, so that's good news. However, at the moment it looks like some things have changed in the underlying data that break some of our logic. 1/2

    Replying to @nflfastR
    One more look at Peyton Manning's destroyer of worlds 2004 season (excluding week 17 since the Colts only played him 1 series). Manning's EPA/play was similar to Mahomes 2018...except Manning did it 14 years and many rule changes ago.

    Fairly certain that changes to the NFL website will break the package (i.e., not allow it to find games / make anything available) in the short term. One season we will get to have a week 1 with no issues...
